CLEVELAND, Tenn. - A break in an investigation of a Chattanooga insurance agent's 1989 shooting death prompted a grand jury to indict a construction worker from Hall County.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says Samuel Gregory Johnson, 42, was arrested Tuesday in Fannin County while paying off a bad check.

TBI. spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson says Johnson is charged with first-degree murder in the February 1989 slaying of American National Insurance Company agent James Carl Rose.

The 42-year-old Rose's body was found about 150 feet from a road in southern Bradley County, Tenn. He was shot in the head. His car was found the next day at a Tennessee welcome center near Chattanooga.

The TBI statement said investigators in 1997 received information that Johnson had been talking about the case.
